Old newspaper recipe clipping digitization

Workflow

• Photograph or scan each clipping.
• Record known publication and date notes.
• Flag damaged or unclear text.
• Review permitted use before sharing.

Review safeguards

• Do not assume old clippings are free to republish.
• Keep source and corrected text files separate.
• Ask family or group reviewers before placing clippings in a public-facing book.

Service boundary

FamilyRecipeLegacyAI helps organize, transcribe, and format private family recipes. It does not provide nutrition, allergy, food safety, legal, or publishing advice. Families should review every ingredient, measure, name, and story before sharing or printing.

When paid recipe book prep is worth it

Buy the $49 starter after the free brief has a small sample or first 8-12 pages, enough context for OCR review, chapter planning, measurement flags, and one family reviewer. Use the $149 full prep when the family needs a fuller private booklet handoff with source mapping, permissions, proof tracking, contributor notes, archive structure, and private sharing planning. Skip payment if you need scanning, perfect OCR, physical printing, public publishing, file-permission changes, messages sent, nutrition, allergy, food-safety, copyright, legal, publishing, or printer advice, or guaranteed transcription, print quality, delivery, refunds, privacy, approval, sales, or revenue.
